How is this a criminal case?

At best it would be civil

I cannot stand people when they call Elmo smart.

I'm not sure that he cares - he seems to be a big fan of nuisance lawsuits to silence his critics, etc. He's probably hoping some idiot Republican AG decides to file some ridiculous lawsuit on his behalf.

Funny though how with advertisers he went from 'go fuck yourselves' to 'I will ask the government to force you to advertise on my shitty site.' Sounds like ad revenues are still in the toilet.

Wait I can get people arrested for not patronizing my business? This would be tremendous news.

I think it is more about colluding with other businesses not to patronize a certain business. It isn't a issue when a business decides to stop patronizing a businesses. It can be a issue when multiple businesses coordinate this decision not to patronize a certain business.

Ohhh. I forgot about the go fuck yourself comment

That would make for a good offense…


Your honor… we took Elons advice and we went and fucked ourselves

I know, I was joking. The claim is absurd on its face for a lot of reasons. Ad spend of major corps on Twitter was a really small part of their social budgets so it's not like the choice to stop in the face of a crazy person running the place now was exactly a momentous decision. Objectionable behavior having consequences is not a conspiracy.

I mean this shouldn't even make it to a court, it should be thrown out. If we lived in a sane society that is.

Nothing says huge operating loss like claiming the business you lost, that you claim not to care about, could have been a criminal conspiracy.

Elon Musk calls for “criminal prosecution” of X ad boycott perpetrators

Congress accused advertisers group of colluding to tank X's revenue.

that's an interesting lawsuit that i hope he has no chance of winning but then again with the state of the courts these days who knows?

I’m starting to suspect that this titan of industry might not actually be so smart after all. Evidently “free speech absolutism” means everyone is absolutely required to speak freely on Xitter.

Oh look the enigma wrapped in a riddle that are Musk's politics is back. Who's to say what he supports?

Is it too late to deport this guy?

So my failed attempts to sell off my old tat on Ebay could be the basis of a lucrative lawsuit?

Why aren't we making SuperPACs to make the Republican whores on the SCROTUS stop fucking us?

It's amazing how much billionaires hate paying taxes. He will endorse a guy that will directly harm his biggest business, all for a slightly lower tax rate.

 

[MrSquished]

He's been just like and for Trump for a while now.

Musk endorsing Trump is maybe the least surprising thing to happen in 2024.

A competent board would have some questions about focusing on a vanity truck that's hard to produce, a robotaxi nobody has seen, and working to permanently alienate a large group of people who can afford your products while your market share falls in the face of increased competition.
